About the work

This is a drawing about a series of networks, entanglements, and meshes trying to intertwine. From roots, mycelium, and neurones to vast amounts of extracted personal information accumulating in data lakes. The drawing weaves various movements, shapes and colours of pigments in a way which is not so much diagrammatic but is the trace of a process, uncovering the connections between those apparently distinct ecologies. I was also thinking about a rapid chain of events: reaching for ‘forbidden fruit’, something sticking in the throat, sudden shame catalysing the response to create. Somehow there are also ciphers, Mary Douglas’s Purity and Danger, an Arthur Rackham illustration of a witch snared in a briar and a title which sounds like the name of a dub album.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
